Chapter 774 - Would Definitely Not Return Empty-Handed
Lin Nuan turned her gaze from the script toward Mu Taotao and asked, “Live stream? What live stream?”
“It’s doing a live stream on the internet! Many celebrities do that…” Mu Taotao shook the powder brush in her hand then put it back, wearing an envious expression. “Every time those celebrities do a live stream, they earn a lot of money. Last time, the comedian Miao Ying only did a live stream for 20 minutes and received over four million just from her fans’ tips! It’s so terrifying! Sister Nuan, haven’t you heard about it before?”
Lin Nuan rarely touched such things and really wasn’t clear about them, so she shook her head.
Mu Taotao packed up her makeup products and tools, then turned to look at Lin Nuan. “Sister Nuan, if you don’t plan on doing a live stream, then can I do one when I’m putting on makeup for you next time? Firstly, it can show off that you’re born with beautiful looks! Secondly… I can split the earnings with you, three to seven!”
Closing up the makeup box, Mu Taotao spoke seriously, gesturing a seven with one hand and a three with the other. She bent over and looked at Lin Nuan with anticipation. “I’ll take three, and you’ll take seven. How about it? I’m very good to you, right?”
Lin Nuan looked at how Mu Taotao’s eyes lit up when she was talking about earning money and smiled as she knocked Mu Taotao’s head with the papers in her hand. “Be careful, or Sister Yan will beat you up!”
After being knocked on the head by Lin Nuan, Mu Taotao quickly straightened up and tidied her fringe, saying regretfully, “Tsk… that’s right! I forgot about Sister Yan! If I dare do a live stream of the makeup, Sister Yan might just fire me!”
Outside.
You Nainai stood outside the dressing room, leaning against the wall as she looked at the message that Tang Zheng had sent her.
Seeing that someone had walked toward Lin Nuan’s dressing room from the corner of her eye, You Nainai raised her head…
She recognized that the person was Ah Zhan, the person who was always with Li Muyang, so she straightened her posture.
Ah Zhan hung a down jacket on his arm and had a few people following behind him. The staff members who were busy going around were all stunned by the disposition coming from Ah Zhan and his men. Seeing that they were moving forward in great strides, they quickly gave way to let them pass through.
Their gazes met, and You Nainai was almost certain that Ah Zhan was there to look for Lin Nuan.
She locked her phone screen, and Ah Zhan was already standing in front of her.
As if he hadn’t slept for a few nights, Ah Zhan’s chin had stubble growing out. There were also traces of blood in his eyes.
He stood in front of You Nainai. Under the black jacket, the firm collar of his white shirt had obvious stains.
“I want to meet Ms. Lin…” Ah Zhan spoke with a hoarse voice.
You Nainai silently placed her phone back in her pocket. She wore a tense expression, and her beautiful and cool features didn’t move. However, they were a clear indication of rejection.
You Nainai glanced at Ah Zhan’s subordinates and asked, “How did you get in here?”
Ah Zhan clearly didn’t have time to waste this time around. He clenched his teeth, and the muscles on his tanned face firmed up. He raised his arm that had a down jacket hanging on it and pointed toward You Nainai.
You Nainai saw a gun muzzle under the down jacket.
“Move!” Ah Zhan used the gun to gesture for You Nainai to move away from the door.
You Nainai stood there, not moving. She thought of Mu Taotao, who was in the dressing room…
Mu Taotao would definitely be able to take Lin Nuan and leave should there be a gunshot.
Even if no one had mentioned it before, You Nainai was certain that Mu Taotao had great skills. She could even be sure that Mu Taotao was someone Fu Huai’an had arranged to be by Lin Nuan’s side to protect her!
“Miss You, we’ve met before and can be considered old acquaintances. I can assure you that I won’t hurt Ms. Lin! It’s just that… I must take Ms. Lin to meet our boss today!”
Ah Zhan came with the strong resolve that he would definitely not return empty-handed.
He could be considered trying peaceful means before resorting to force by saying so much to You Nainai.
You Nainai was Lin Nuan’s bodyguard. A bodyguard’s responsibilities were more important than their lives. That was why You Nainai had never been afraid of death after joining that line of work.
At that moment, You Nainai didn’t have a gun with her. However, judging from the calluses on Mu Taotao’s hands, she felt that Mu Taotao practiced with guns regularly!
She guessed that Mu Taotao probably always had a gun with her as well.
Many people were around, and some were already looking over in You Nainai and Ah Zhan’s direction…
In order to avoid unnecessary news for Lin Nuan, and also to take a gamble, under Ah Zhan’s gaze, You Nainai raised her hand and gently knocked on the dressing room’s door. She held onto the doorknob… and turned it.
Ah Zhan grabbed onto the gun nervously.
In the dressing room, Mu Taotao heard three short and three long knocks. Almost unconsciously, she pressed down on her makeup box.
Lin Nuan lowered her head and was reading the interview content that Miss Xia had given her. She thought that it must be Fang Yan or other staff members from the Jinjiang TV Station, so she didn’t pay it much heed.
Mu Taotao’s eyes narrowed. She saw You Nainai’s back view through the vanity mirror and skillfully assembled the gun in her makeup box. She put on the silencer, lowered her gaze, and loaded the clip with a soft knock.
Lin Nuan had a preserved plum in her mouth and reached out her hand to pick up a bottle of mineral water. She had just twisted it open, not even having a chance to drink it when she saw You Nainai entering with her back facing the room. Ah Zhan saw Lin Nuan and came in, then closed the door.
Lin Nuan’s hand holding onto the mineral water tightened its grip, and some water spilled from the bottle.
Judging by the way You Nainai had come in, Lin Nuan could guess what Ah Zhan was holding under the down jacket. Her scalp turned numb, but she put the bottle aside and stood up, pretending to be calm.
Lin Nuan was afraid of scaring Mu Taotao and thus pulled Mu Taotao behind her to protect her.
Lin Nuan said in a low voice, “Ah Zhan…”
After putting on makeup, Lin Nuan’s soft and exquisite features appeared a bit stronger.
Mu Taotao looked strangely at Lin Nuan, who stood in front of her to protect her. Her emotions wavered slightly.
“Ms. Lin…” Ah Zhan’s throat rolled. “I’m sorry to be meeting you in this manner. Our boss’s condition isn’t that good. I only wish for you to come with me to see him and persuade him to go back to the United States to seek treatment! I beg of you!”
Ah Zhan’s voice was choking, and his eyes had turned red.
“This way of inviting someone is really a rare sight!” Mu Taotao spoke up.
Lin Nuan’s hand held onto Mu Taotao’s tightly, fearing that she would stir up Ah Zhan’s fury and that he would do something to harm her!
Sweat formed on Lin Nuan’s palm, moistening Mu Taotao’s dry and slender wrist.
You Nainai took the opportunity to lock onto the wrist of the hand that was holding the gun, tugging with both hands and smashing toward her knee. Ah Zhan read You Nainai’s intentions and agilely held onto her raised knee. He then kicked out toward You Nainai’s waist with his left leg.
You Nainai’s eyes narrowed, and she agilely moved to step onto the wall, then pushed against it to somersault in the air, dodging Ah Zhan’s attack. However, after landing on both feet, You Nainai still didn’t manage to throw Ah Zhan over her shoulder and snatch the gun…
The gun that was equipped with a silencer let out a soft sound, and the glass in the dressing room shattered, crashing onto the ground.
Lin Nuan was so shocked that she shielded Mu Taotao and took a few steps in retreat. Her heart was beating so quickly that it felt as if her heart was going to burst out from her chest.
